Lions are endangered due to two main reasons.
Loss of habitat - with growing human populations, humans are venturing deeper and deeper into forests in search of land thereby shrinking the lions habitat
Hunting - killing and hunting lions was considered a brave mans sport in the early 1990's. This caused a significant demise in lion numbers.
Governments worldwide have banned hunting lions and as a result, their numbers are stabilizing as of now.
